The site reports: ‘As the coronavirus pandemic worsened in the United States, Elizabeth and Armie elected to stay with their children temporarily in the Cayman Islands where the pandemic appeared to be under greater control…
‘Armie returned to Los Angeles this past July, with a promise from Elizabeth that she and the children would follow shortly thereafter….
‘To date, however, Elizabeth and the children remain in the Cayman Islands and Armie has not seen the children in several months now.’

He said: ‘Look, I don’t think you’ll find anyone in the world who would ever say what I’m going through is an easy thing to go through. It’s not about whether it was your idea or not, or whether you think it’s the right idea or you don’t.
Either way, a separation like this is a seriously seismic event in someone’s life. And there’s a lot of shifting and a lot of growing pains and a lot of changes. Change is a universal constant…
‘I mean, change is not a bad thing always, but that doesn’t mean it’s painless. Elizabeth and I are two adults making this decision and the priority is how do we do it in a way that affects our children the least?…
‘Or, at least, how do we help get them through this in a way that mitigates as much consternation or fear or damage on their part, you know?’
